7 more pictures in notes above! ENJOY! :) I've been enjoying the beautiful flowers I bought a week ago, and the Zinnias are blooming in many colors! A few days ago I shared images of a hot pink one, and today it was time to show off the gorgeous golden yellow one! The first rays of sun look so pretty on the petals, soft and warm! John Muir (21 April 1838 – 24 December 1914) was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is now one of the most important conservation organizations in the United States. One of the most well-known hiking trails in the U.S., the 211-mile (340 km) John Muir Trail, was named in his honor. Other such places include Muir Woods National Monument, Muir Beach, John Muir College, Mount Muir, Camp Muir and Muir Glacier. John Muir Explored on August 9, 2013. Highest placement, page 3 (#61).

4 more pictures in notes above! The smoke from the fires here in southern Oregon was so thick this morning that the sun could only cast a dim orange light on everything. In fact, you can see the smoke from SPACE! Though it was positively caustic to be outside, I simply could not resist taking pictures of the gorgeous tarweed blossoms that are in full bloom right now and simply take my breath away with their beauty. Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 structures and completed 532 works. Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by his design for Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture". Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States.
